Description
When Friday Woodcutter stumbles upon seven sleeping men in her sister Sunday's palace, she takes one look at Tristan and knows he's meant to be her destiny. But these exiled royal brothers are cursed-along with their sister, the mute kitchen girl Rampion-to be swans by day. Amidst a kingdom in chaos and a castle flooded with refugees, can Friday's unique magic find a way to break the spell?
In this delightful third book in the Woodcutter Sisters series, Alethea Kontis invokes a few fine-feathered fairy tales-featuring "The Wild Swans," "The Goose Girl," and the Armenian folktale of Queen Anahit-to focus on Friday Woodcutter, the kind and loving seamstress.
Because where there is kindness, there is strength...
This 2024 edition of DEAREST now includes the previously unreleased Chapter 20 (both book and audiobook have been updated!)
